Andrea Libman: Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, Pumpkin Cake

Quotes 

• Applejack : Now how in thunderation is one of them twins a pegasus, and the other one a unicorn?

  Carrot Cake : Easy. My great-great-great-great grandfather was a unicorn, and Cup Cake's great aunt's second cousin twice removed was a pegasus. That makes sense, right?

  Rainbow Dash : Aw yeah, heh, just you wait! Once little Pound Cake gets there his wings going, he'll be all over the place.

  Twilight Sparkle : And be careful around Pumpkin Cake.

  Rarity : Baby unicorns get strange magic surges that come and go.

  Pinkie Pie : [holds up a candle-less cake for the newborns]  Quick! Make a wish and blow out your candles! Which is easy, 'cause there are zero candles! You are zero years old, after all!

  Nurse Redheart : Shhh!

• Pinkie Pie : [Pound Cake is bouncing in his crib and Pumpkin Cake is chewing happily on her rubber chicken toy]  Pound Cake. This is a crib. It is only to be used for napping, sleeping, and on occasion with permission, as a pretend old-timey Western fort. It is not a trampoline, so stop your jumping right now, mister!

  Pumpkin Cake : [giggling] 

  Pinkie Pie : And you, young filly. We do not put anything in our mouth that we cannot safely and properly digest, so stop slobbering on that toy this instant!

• Pinkie Pie : Dear Princess Celestia, I've always had fun playing with little kids, and I thought babysitting meant just more playtime, right? Wrong! Being a caregiver is way more responsibility than just being a playmate. And today I learned that sometimes our desire for responsibility can outrun our actual ability to handle it.

• Carrot Cake : Pinkie Pie! We're back!

  Cup Cake : How did everything go?

  [they gasp when they see how clean the house is] 

  Carrot Cake : Are we in the right place?

  Pinkie Pie : Shhh!

  Pound Cake : [snoring] 

  Pumpkin Cake : [sleepy mumbling] 

  Cup Cake : P... Pinkie. This is just... just...

  Carrot Cake : Amazing, is what it is. We had no idea how responsible you really are. Would you be interested in becoming our go-to babysitter on a permanent basis?

  Pinkie Pie : [gasps]  Hm- Ah- lemme check my schedule! I should be available a week from... never!

  Pumpkin Cake , Pound Cake : [sigh] 

  Pound Cake : [while asleep]  Pinkie...

  Pumpkin Cake : [also asleep]  Pie...

  Pinkie Pie : [happily gasps]  I have some free time next Tuesday.

• Pinkie Pie : [in the hospital maternity ward, with the new babies]  Two new foals for me to play with?

  [gasps] 

  Pinkie Pie : That's two, two, two times the fun! This is the greatest day ever! We need to celebrate your birthday, babies, 'cause you were just born today! Woohoo!

  Nurse Redheart : Shhh. The babies are trying to sleep.

  Pinkie Pie : But I was just...

  Nurse Redheart : Shhh.

  Pinkie Pie : But...

  Nurse Redheart : Shhh!

  Pinkie Pie : [quieter; singing]  Happy happy birthday, to you and you today...

• Pinkie Pie : [singing to Pound Cake and Pumpkin Cake]  Happy monthiversary to you and you today

  Pinkie Pie : [spoken very quickly in eight beats]  I can't believe you're already a month old time sure flies doesn't it well it seems like only yesterday you were born

  Pinkie Pie : [normal singing]  But now you're a month old today, hey!

  [the foals blow party kazoos and giggle] 

• Fluttershy : [to the Cakes, who are looking for a babysitter]  Oh, I would love to babysit! But I can't today, sorry. I promised Angel we'd go on a picnic.

  [Angel, her bunny pet, points angrily at a picnic basket] 

  Fluttershy : You understand, don't you? Y-you're not mad at me are you? Please don't be mad at me!

  Pinkie Pie : [rocking a bunny that looks like Angel in her arms]  I'll do it! Pick me!

  Twilight Sparkle : I have to finish this report for the Princess summarizing all my other reports to the Princess.

  Pinkie Pie : [holding a diaper-wearing book like a baby]  I wanna babysit! Pick me!

  Applejack : Babysit? Now? When there's a swarm a' hungry caterpillars headed this way? I gotta get all these apples picked before they get swarmed on!

  Pinkie Pie : [holding a bundle of apples like a baby]  Ooh, ooh, I wanna do it!

  Rainbow Dash : I got tickets to the Wonderbolts airshow this afternoon. Gotta dash!

  Pinkie Pie : [holding some cloud with a diaper]  Ask me! Mememememememememememememe!

  Rarity : Moi? Babysit? N- oh nonononononononono. I'm flattered that you would think about me though.

  Carrot Cake : [groans; unenthusiastically]  Pinkie Pie, how would you like to babysit for us.

  Pinkie Pie : [gasps excitedly, then acts serious]  I dunno. I'll have to check my schedule.

• Carrot Cake : Now, Pinkie, are you sure you really understand the responsibility of watching over two babies?

  Pinkie Pie : I can be responsible. Why, responsibility is my middle name. Pinkie Responsibility Pie.

  Cup Cake : But this time you need to *take care of them*, not just play with them. You have to be responsible.

  Pinkie Pie : Yes, I know, I will. I am.

• Pinkie Pie : [trying a stand-up comedy routine to entertain Pound and Pumpkin]  Hey, you're a wonderful crowd here tonight, where y'all from?

  [she points the broomstick she's holding at Pumpkin, who reaches her mouth for it as if it's food] 

  Pinkie Pie : Well that's great. Y'know, I used to have an ant farm, but I had to get rid of it because I couldn't find tractors that small!

  [rimshot sound] 

  Pinkie Pie : Get it? Tractors that small?

  [pause] 

  Pinkie Pie : The other day, I spilled spot remover on my dog, and now I can't find him!

  [rimshot again, this time revealed to have come from Pinkie at a small drum set she zipped over to] 

  Pumpkin Cake , Pound Cake : [crying] 

  Pinkie Pie : [from the drum set]  Gee, tough crowd.

  [to herself, from the "stage"] 

  Pinkie Pie : Tell me about it.

• Pinkie Pie : Fine, I wasn't gonna pull off a show stopper, but you're a lovely audience and I think you deserve it!

  [she goes behind the curtain for a moment, and comes out wearing a rubber pig nose] 

  Pinkie Pie : [singing a bouncy song for the foals]  First you jiggle your tail!/Oink oink oink!/Then you wriggle your snout!/Oink oink oink!/Then you wiggle your rump!/Oink oink oink!/Then shout it out!/Oink oink oink!

  [repeat] 

  Pumpkin Cake , Pound Cake : [crying] 

  Pinkie Pie : First you jiggle your tail!/Oink oink oink!/Then you wriggle your snout!/Oink oink oink!/Then you wiggle your rump!/Oink oink oink!/Then shout it out!/Oink oink oink!

  [Pinkie crashes into a cupboard with a bag of flour on top of it, causing the flour to fall on her head, the bag opens and covers her with flour, turning her all white, the foals start laughing once they see her that way] 

  Pinkie Pie : There, you see? Nothing to this babysitting business!

  [collapses on her back] 

• Twilight Sparkle : Hi! I finished up the work I had to do so I thought I'd stop by and see if you needed any help. Whoa!

  [Pinkie drags her inside] 

  Pinkie Pie : Thank you, thank you, thank you for coming! I can't begin to tell you what my day has been like, I mean, these babies just won't listen to reason, and don't even get me started on their taste in stand-up comedy.

  Twilight Sparkle : It's okay, Pinkie. I figured you would need some help. That's why I stopped by.

  Pinkie Pie : Excuse me?

  Twilight Sparkle : Babies take a lot of work, and some ponies are just not cut out to handle the responsibility.

  Pinkie Pie : Is that so? Well, thanks for stopping by, Twilight. Sorry, I don't have time to visit, I'm very very busy with my responsibilities here.

  [she starts pushing Twilight out the door] 

  Twilight Sparkle : I'm happy to help! It's no trouble-

  [door slams] 

  Pinkie Pie : Well, of all the- she thinks I can't handle things on my own! Maybe because I haven't handled things on my own. Well, I can handle things on my own!
